In this interview Dominik Mysterio talks about being cheered at WrestleMania 41: “My initial reaction was… it felt right. You know? It felt like it belonged. I was not expecting cheers from the crowd at all. You know, I walked out getting booed, so then as soon as that 1-2-3 hits and they just absolutely erupt? I mean, I had never experienced it in my life. The people are going absolutely wild. They’re chanting ‘Dirty-Dirty Dom.’ Like, continuously singing, like it was honestly very, very surreal.”

Steve Austin tries to explain why he crashed at WrestleMania 41: “Different throttle set up than what I’m used to. Long story short, just a different throttle system. I’m pretty dang hady on a four-wheeler. I was embarrassed by it. I think everybody is okay. You go out there on the biggest night in wrestling and you end up like that, it’s not the greatest day at the office. You go out there and want to give people the best show that you can and when you fall short of that, it’s not great.”
